Chemical Peels — Revive. Renew. Radiate.
At Anna’s Secret Lab in Vienna, VA, we offer professional Circadia chemical peels designed to gently exfoliate, renew, and restore your skin. Whether you want to brighten dullness, improve texture, or address acne and pigmentation, our customized peel treatments reveal a smoother, healthier, and more radiant complexion.
To get started, a free consultation is required—during this session, we’ll review your skin goals and determine the perfect peel for you. While you’ll see improvement after your first peel, lasting results usually require several treatments.
Why choose a peel?
A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses carefully selected acids to remove the outermost layers of dead skin, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. Peels stimulate cellular turnover, improve texture and tone, fade pigmentation, reduce fine lines, minimize pores, and boost radiance. They are a powerful way to accelerate skin renewal without invasive surgery.
When applied correctly, peels can help with:
-
Uneven skin tone, sun spots, hyperpigmentation
-
Fine lines and early signs of aging
-
Dull, lackluster complexion
-
Acne, blemishes, clogged pores
-
Rough texture, uneven surface
Because the strength, formulation, and downtime vary, peels are customized for different skin types and goals.
Who is a peel recommended for?
Peels are generally suitable for clients who:
-
Want greater improvement than a facial but prefer noninvasive options
-
Have sun damage, age spots, melasma or pigmentation concerns
-
Seek smoother texture or reduction of fine lines
-
Experience occasional breakouts or oily / congested skin
-
Are willing to follow post-treatment care (sun protection, gentle products)
However, peels may not be ideal for clients with:
-
Active cold sores, infections, open wounds, or skin inflammations
-
Very sensitive or reactive skin (unless mild peel)
-
Recent isotretinoin (accutane) use or certain medications
-
Pregnancy (some peels not recommended)
-
Fitzpatrick skin type with high risk of hyperpigmentation (careful selection)
During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin history, current products/medications, and desired outcomes to choose the appropriate peel depth and formula.

For light peels, results may last several weeks to a few months. For deeper peels, results can last longer, though maintenance is recommended.
